Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. There isn’t one particular probiotic strain that does it all. Many different probiotic strains are needed because they all have different characteristics that compliment each other. Our probiotic contains 14 different probiotic strains, which provides a full spectrum formula that is capable of delivering live probiotics throughout the entire GI tract.* This probiotic also contains a special type of Inulin (FOS) which is a prebiotic and dietary fiber that helps feed only beneficial bacteria so that they survive and reproduce.* Unlike other forms of Inulin, this type of Inulin has a guaranteed chain length that only varies between 8 and 13 monomers in length. This is important because different forms of Inulin can vary from 2-60 monomers in length. Inulin with a chain length between 8 and 13 monomers only feeds friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.*
